‘Pathetic’ is a human interest movie – Dayo Amusa

All is ready for Dayo Amusa’s new movie, ‘Pathetic’, to be released in cinemas on March 24, 2017.

Amusa, who disclosed that the movie is a human interest story, said, “We must tell the many tales that are being kept as secrets, the many wounds that are being covered and the many stories that may never be told.” Her last movie, ‘Unforgivable’ also borders on domestic violence in the family.

‘Pathetic’ is the story of Rita Shonibare, a renowned TV star who is caught in a web of confusion, as she makes a compromise on her budding career so as to overcome her marital ordeals. The movie portrays the mischievous ways that celebrities are portrayed by the media and the outsiders who prey on them.

“It’s not as if the stories are related to me directly,” she quipped. “I am just a voice to the many silenced voices in our society. I am helping a group of people tell the stories they would rather cover. These are issues that go on around us daily and I feel obligated to tell those stories.”

Speaking further, Amusa said: “This does not mean that I will not make movies outside of this niche. I am definitely open to try my hands on different stories but one thing is important, I want to tell an impacting story that we can all learn from.”
